Richards Gardens, Plainwell, Mich. 
Gentlemen: I had the good fortune to purchase from you last spring 
several dozen Pacific Hybrid Delphiniums. At that time I was told 
that these seedlings would give a good account of themselves and they 
did, gloriously. I had spikes to grow as tall as I am, 5 ft. 10 in., and 
flowers to cover 8 feet of the stem. Is this an unusual result? I gave 
them well rotted cow manure and peat moss when planting and only 
two applications of Vigro during the summer. Nothing more. They 
made a brave show up until Armistice Day. Another thing I want to 
point out is their resistance to fungus. I only syrayed the bottom leaves 
three times all summer and I don’t believe that was necessary. I have 
never seen nor heard of delphinium so hardy and so productive. The 
blooming period went right through the summer without the slightest 
interruption up to November 11. I cannot say too much for your plants 
because they have completely exceeded my wildest imagination and 
dreams. Respectfully, John 8S. Ports
